Head to Austin for SXSW? Lots of A&R people there. But a million other bands and solo artists there too.

Are you looking to get on a tour? Two guys who work for me in the summer are in a shred metal type band. The band has been together for about 10 years. They have a record contract and some money coming in. But without the touring, internet sales aren't going to make them a living.

They have performed at SXSW and got named to a 25 hottest type list. Currently on a tour with some other metal bands for a 2 month cross the USA tour. They don't make much for their 30 minute set. Exposure, Exposure Exposure and hopefully some tee shirt and cd sales.

Six guys in a converted short bus with a trailer. Lots of good stories and some not so good. If you have a demo cd, send it to me. My exBil and his son signed Spoon to their label and I can pass yours on to them

Thank you so much for the tip Tony! I still do the band thing too, but it's much easier to make a living playing solo shows. I'd like to transition the band to touring shows, and Oklahoma was first on our list. I'll look up the Box Agency and see if that lands anything.
